I've had some people ask how this was done, what was the trick? There is no trick. The glass really is balancing on plying cards. The possible trick is that the cards are taped together and there is a fourth card taped to the back of the ace for added stability. Other than that, it's a straightforward shot.
I like your idea, and the execution is good. The only thing that troubles me is being able to clearly see the background reflected in the glass (ie: you taking the photo). Other than that, great!
I like the subject and the lighting on the cards is excellent. IMO the glass needs a little more light or contrast against the black backround. Well done.
Nice studio setup - like the use of all black and white in a color photo. I think the lighting seup could have been better executed as the top of the glass seems a bit weak. Both the left and right side of the top of the glass tend to merge into the background.
Nice concept too bad you couln't figure out a way to get rid of you in the reflection. Im not quite sure what would be a good way myself. I love the cards on end though.
Very nice. If the lighting was a bit more uniform on the cards and you could have figured out a way to lose the reflections on the glass, it would have been magnificent.
I considered a similar shot but rejected it in favor of something else. My cards weren't strong enough to hold up what I had in mind. :) Well done. Good luck with the submission.
good concept. but there's some bad reflections that i think are of you and your dwelling in the glass. maybe hang another sheet or something behind you and take the shot from an angle where you're not in the reflection.
Nice take on the subject. Like the tonal range and choice of lighting. Unfortunate reflection in the glass of room and photographer is distracting to me.
